Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a resealable plastic bag and using a rolling pin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, chopped pecans, chopped walnuts, chopped candied cherries, raisins, chopped candied pineapple, and shredded coconut. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the dry mixture. Using a sturdy spatula or your hands, mix everything thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are moistened and evenly combined.
Line a loaf pan with plastic wrap or parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to wrap the top. Transfer the fruitcake mixture into the pan, pressing it down firmly to create an even layer and eliminate air pockets.
Wrap the top of the fruitcake tightly with the overhanging plastic wrap or parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight to allow the cake to set and the flavors to meld.
Once set, remove the fruitcake from the loaf pan by lifting the plastic wrap or parchment paper. Slice into thin pieces and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator, wrapped tightly.
